First, there is the new A10-7800 SoC. It boasts of a maximum clock speed of 3.9GHz, and it sports the same R7 graphics engine as the top-end A10-7850K APU. Next in line is the A6-7400K that also has a maximum clock speed of 3.9GHz; however, its graphics engine isn’t as powerful because its R5 graphics engine has four GPU cores, two less than the A10-7800. Last of all, the A4-7300 APU that is like the A6-7400K as they both sport only a pair of CPU cores, while the A4-7300’s R3 graphics engine has only one dedicated GPU core.

The A10-7800 APU is currently on sale in Japan now and it will be available worldwide by the end of the month. However, there isn't any information on the availability of the A6-7400K and A4-7300 APUs.
